From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner comes a harrowing new thriller: Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding the missing persons that the rest of the world has forgotten, but even she couldn't have anticipated this latest request - to locate the long-lost sister of a female serial killer facing execution in three weeks' time. No man truly fears a woman. Not even one who is her father's daughter. The case was sensational. Kaylee Pierson had confessed from the very beginning, waived all appeals. She had called herself "death," but people called her the devil. Despite the media's chronicling of her tragic circumstances - the childhood spent with a violent father - no one could find sympathy for "the Beautiful Butcher" who had led eighteen men home from bars before viciously slitting their throats.
